A few Hollyhocks....

Well look who finally decided to wake up.
Little by little the Hollyhocks are opening up.
The colors are just as pretty as ever!




So many have decided to sleep late this year.
When they all wake up, the garden will be an amazing sight!



Once everyone wakes up, there is a grand garden party.
The bumblebees, hummingbirds, and garden fairies all join in.
As the breeze causes the Hollyhocks to sway, it seems to set the whole garden in motion. 
Everyone gets caught up in the joyful mood, and they swirl, and dance into the night.
The swirling sends sweet scents up through the air, causing sleepy children to drift off to sleep to the fragrance of Lavender, and Roses.
It all takes place in the Secret Garden that's inside the Hollyhock garden....*wink.

  2. I LOVE Hollyhocks so much and yours are just beautiful! We are in a deep dark woods so it's too shady here but when I get my garden in Wyoming it will be total sun and they do really well out there. I see you have the pretty old fashioned kind (not the double kind), if I can't find seeds for them I may just be begging for some of yours. Very pretty post!

  3. A few? Honey, we call that a bumper crop around here. SO, so pretty there. If I were a fairy, I would so dance in the moonlight amid your holly hocks and roses. Shoot- may do it anyway. Have a fun weekend!
